WARNINGS
Your vehicle has a higher ground
clearance and hence, a higher centre of
gravity than ordina ry passenger cars,
to enable the vehicle to perform in a wide
variety of off-road app lications. An advantage
of the higher ground clea rance is a better view
of the road allowing you to anticipate
problems.
The vehicle is not designed for
cornering at the same speed as
conventional passenge r cars any more
than a low-slung sports car is designed to
perform satisfactori ly under off-road
conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns
or abrupt manoeuvres. As with other vehicles
of this type, failure to operate the vehicle
correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle roll-over.
The vehicle should no t be parked over
long dry grass or other combustible
material, particul arly during dry
weather. As the heat ge nerated by the exhaust
and emission control systems may be
sufficient to start a fire.
Before exiting the vehicle ensure that P
park is selected and the park brake
applied. When exiting the vehicle
ensure that the remote control is removed
from the vehicle.

Driving hintsGENERAL DRIVING POINTS
Battery charging - red
Illuminates as a bulb check when
the ignition is turned on and
extinguishes once the engine is
running. If it remains on, or illuminates whilst
driving, a fault with the battery charging
system is indicated. Seek qualified assistance
urgently.
Low oil pressure - red
Illuminates as a bulb check when
the ignition is turned on and
extinguishes when the engine is
started. If the indicator remains on, flashes on
and off, or illuminates whilst driving, stop the
vehicle as soon as safety permits and switch
off the engine immediat ely. Seek qualified
assistance before driving. Always check the oil
level when this indicator illuminates.
REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Engine management syst em (EMS) fault
Illuminates amber in the
instrument pack when the engine
management system detects a
serious fault - reduce d performance may be
experienced. Avoid high speeds and consult
your Land Rover Dealer/A uthorised Repairer as
soon as possible.
Check engine - petrol models only
Illuminates amber in the
instrument pack as a bulb and
system check when the starter
switch is turned on and extinguishes as soon
as the engine is starte d. Illumination at any
other time indicates that the emission
performance of the engine management
system is impaired - seek qualified assistance.
If the indicator flashes while driving,
immediately reduce e ngine power to avoid
catalytic converter damage.
RUNNING-IN
The engine, gearbox, tyre s, and brakes need
time to bed-in. During the first 800 km (500
miles) it is essential th at the vehicle is driven
with consideration for the running-in process.
During the running in period the following
advice should be followed.
• Limit the engine speed to a maximum of
3000 rpm, and the road speed to a
maximum of 110 km/h (68 mph).
• Do not use full accelerator pedal travel, and
use the gears to avoid over-revving or
labouring the engine.
• Do not use sport mode during the running
in period.
• Avoid rapid accelerati on or heavy braking
wherever possible.
• Ensure that servicing is carried out on
time, and follow any advice regarding use
in arduous conditions.
Note: The advice given for running in will aid
fuel economy, and s hould be adopted as
general driving practice even after the running
in period.

ECONOMICAL DRIVING
There are two main factors which influence fuel
economy, the way the vehicle is driven, and
maintenance.
Driving tips for economy
• Avoid unnecessary jour neys, especially
short stop-start trips.
• Accelerate smoothly and gently from a
stand still.
• Use the gears to avoid labouring, or
over-revving the engine.
• Allow time to brake gently and smoothly.
• Be aware of traffic and road conditions
ahead, and take action in time to avoid
hard braking or acceleration.
• When stationary apply the park brake, and
select neutral.
• Turn off the air conditioning when not
needed.
Maintenance and fuel economy
Regular servicing by a Land Rover
Dealer/Approved repairer, along with regular
checks by the driver are essential for vehicle
longevity and fuel economy.
The condition of the engine (oils, filters, spark
plugs, settings etc) tyre pressures, and wheel
alignment, will all have a bearing on fuel
economy. For this reason it is essential that the
vehicle is checked regularly by the driver, and
serviced by an approved Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer at the correct
intervals.
Note: If you are in any doubt about the
maintenance requirement s, intervals, or
checks required, contact your Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised repairer for advice.

Towing
R
LEVELLING
To maintain vehicle stability, it is essential that
the trailer is loaded so that it remains parallel to
the ground. This is partic ularly important when
towing twin axled trailers.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
• The trailer should be pa rallel to the ground
when loaded.
• When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
• If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's
weight limits. See WEIGHTS (page 212).
• Ensure that all applic able regulations and
legislation are complied with when loading
and towing a trailer.
• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle to those for maximum vehicle
loading conditions. See WEIGHTS
(page 212).
• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacture r's recommendations.
• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) the nose weight is
limited to 150 kg (330 lbs). •
If it is necessary to increase the nose
weight, up to a maximum of 250 kg (550
lbs) the vehicle load should be reduced
accordingly. This ensures that the GVW,
and maximum rear axle load are not
exceeded.
• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer' s instructions for
guidance.
• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.
• Check the operation of all trailer lights.
E82250
WARNING
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball as it may slide off.
Maintenance
158
L
One or both types of serv ice interval (distance
and time) may be displayed. For example, if an
engine oil service is du e based on mileage, and
a brake fluid change is due based on time, both
distance and time c ountdowns will display.
Service Portfolio
The Service Portfolio book includes a Service
Record section, which enables a record to be
kept of all the servicing and inspections that are
carried out on the vehicle. This section of the
book also has an area for brake fluid changes
to be recorded.
Ensure your service provider signs and stamps
the book after each se rvice and inspection.
Owner Maintenance
In addition to the routine maintenance, a
number of simple checks must be carried out
more frequently. Advice is given on the pages
that follow.
Daily checks
• Operation of lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and warning
indicators.
• Operation of seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Weekly checks
• Engine oil level. See ENGINE OIL CHECK
(page 162).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 163).
• Brake/clutch fluid level. See BRAKE AND
CLUTCH FLUID CHECK (page 165). •
Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 166).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 167).
• Tyre pressure s and condition.
• Operate air conditioning.
Note: The engine oil leve l should be checked
more frequently if the vehicle is driven for
prolonged periods at high speeds.
Driving in arduous conditions
When a vehicle is operated in extremely
arduous conditions, more frequent attention
must be paid to servicing requirements.
For example, if your vehicle experiences deep
wading conditions, even daily servicing could
be necessary to ensure the continued safe and
reliable operation of the vehicle.
Arduous driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
and/or wading.
• Driving in extremely hot conditions.
• Towing a trailer or driving in mountainous
conditions.
Contact a Land Rover Dealer/Authorised
Repairer for advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of
emission and evaporative control equipment,
designed to meet sp ecific territorial
requirements. You should be aware that
unauthorised replacemen t, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to
legal penalties.
CAUTION
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid
levels, or uneven tyre wear, should be
reported to a qualified technician without
delay.
